The total aid issued by the Federal Government of Germany to support humanitarian activities of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Ukraine for the current and following years is EUR8 million.

"The aid is provided within the project "ICRC Assistance, Protection, Prevention and Cooperation Activities in Ukraine 2016-2017." Once Germany earlier this year has already allocated EUR7 million to support the project, now it was decided to increase the financing by EUR1 million," the press and PR department of the German Embassy in Ukraine said.

The embassy noted in 2015 Germany funded ICRC humanitarian activities in Ukraine for a total of EUR3 million.
